  all great powers end eventually. they either inbreed until retarded or become so successful that corruption destroys it from within like rust.

  like the theory that technology can go only so far before people develop tech to destroy themselves. a society can only go so far before it destroys itself.

  but not to worry, cuz i can skin a buck and run a trout line.

  my JW has been doing more "talks"(gawd what a dumb term for sales pitch) which tells me that more people are ditching them. unless they started giving out 2 talks per month. which still would indicate a lack of candidates. also we are not in BFE. this is a BIG metro area.

  Theism without the bible, Koran, or any books and a question!

  by Seraphim23 in

  1. jw

  i was thinking that to put oneself into the mind-set of someone else without the background and upbringing that we had is very hard to do.

  if i could live several lives without knowing i was doing so, to then compare all of them at the end of those separately lived lives would pose an interesting set of questions.

  one of these would be regarding what i would believe after the comparison of numerously lived dispositions and cultural upbringings.

  interesting question. id say yes. the reason being that human brains need an excuse for things not understood, lightning comes to mind. also, there has never been a shortage of people wanting to dominate others. what better excuse than supernatural punishment for disobeying? id go so far as to say that some type of theism is a necessity in the course of human development.

  a group of seniors from a baptist church were on their way back from gatlinburg va. where they had preached to the locals.

  their bus blew a tire and veered into traffic catching fire in the accident.

  8 people died and 14 others were injured.. how do people of faith come to terms with those considered faithful meeting such a tragic end and causing the deaths and injury of others.. ap news service.

  i wrote an article on the topic of god's eyebrow-raising lenience shown to cain after killing his brother, exploring possible reasons why the account was written as it was:.

  seen in that light the bible truly is a literary masterpiece. unfortunately when taken literally, well... you see what we get. talking snakes, auditory hallucinations, and an eternal vacation at lava beach.very nicely written and coherent topic.

  jw leaks has published court documents relating to the million dollar financial fraud involving rodney hatfield and the watsonville congregation of jehovah's witnesses in california, usa.. these court documents include the sealed 2009 indictment, rodney hatfield's plea bargain dated january 30, 2013, and the criminal minutes sentencing order summary dated september 16, 2013. hatfield was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison in connection with his role in a conspiracy to commit wire fraud.. in pleading guilty on january 30, 2013, hatfield admitted that he conspired with his co-defendant to obtain money from investors by means of materially false representations about the value of their investment accounts.

  hatfield admitted that he defrauded members of his own jehovahs witnesses congregation in watsonville, california.

  as part of the conspiracy, he solicited millions of dollars in investment money from his fellow congregants and others to invest in landmark trading company, llc (landmark), a company he and his co-defendant had set up as a holding company for the purpose of trading in foreign currency exchange.. initially, landmark did engage in some legitimate currency trades on behalf of its investors; however, the company quickly began to run a negative return on its trading activity.

  i am not a jw.

  i am basically here for two reasons:.

  1. i am not satisfied with mainstream christianity and i believe that jw (along with other sects) have some things to offer in terms of answering my questions.
